Wheelchair ads
National media seems to have the vapors about Wendy Davis' latest teevee ad. And if that's what the WaPo and the AP are saying, you can only imagine how offended Breitbart Texas is acting. Why, even Mother Jones is clutching her pearls.
I just don't think any of these people have been following the race for Texas governor very closely. Or if they have, they've been doing so from a posh suite of offices inside the Beltway.
Here's a couple of explanations for the out-of-towners about how political campaigns go in the Lone Star State from some of my fellow bloggers who know about these things. Or you can read the comments on the story at the HouChron, which for the uninitiated is no bastion of Texas liberalism. You will find several short -- even Tweetably short -- descriptions of precisely what the spot is about.
Specifically, a self-loathing sociopath.
For those who won't click: the ad is about the baldest demonstration of hypocrisy ever performed by any politician anywhere, and not the fact that he was too stupid to get out of the way of a falling tree. So let's be certain that the corporate media outside Texas regains its focus by repeating the truth about Greg Abbott.
Now if someone wants to scream and cry about those who would make fun of people in wheelchairs, I got your outrage right here. Swinging.
